I love the budbud photo! Just posted my own blog post about puto maya and budbod and felt like checking out other posts about budbud and stumbled on this blog! yes, we Bisayans love our puto maya and budbud in chocolate. Mangoes are great too. I cannot believe they do not know what puto maya is in Manila…:/

Eating puto maya at the market and sikwate is my bonding moment with my father. Is it a Visayas/Mindanao thing? Coz I can’t find it here in Manila and a lot of them don’t know what puto maya is.

thanks MM! I think the puto maya is similar to what my grandma would call “sinaing” na suman and also to that Thai dessert of sticky rice and mango

Thanks, MM. I just remembered I still have some puto maya in the fridge. Made it myself the other day. Got to eat it now, with the ripe mango. Nah, it is not Guadalupe mango. It is just past midnight here, but who cares I am hungry just reading your blog.

@ ConnieC, funneee.

you can try the puto maya sold hot at market! Market! supermart together with hot choco. It may not be as delicious just like the original in Bohol, but they are also good.

Hmmm…..I always thought that puto maya was something like puto seko.Interesting that “puto” can look and taste different—Puto calasiao, puto binan,etc.

Puto maya goes well with sikwate and ripe mangoes. I make puto maya once in a while here in the US using the traditional steamer.Now a days short cut na ang ginagawa ng iba,they cook the puto maya using rice cooker.
